This invention relates to capped .containers adapted to serve as ice cream cups or the "like, and constructed of a iiexible material such as waterpooof paper or the like.

It is an object of this invention to provide a paper container for ice cream and the like, said container preferably being of conical shape and provided with a cap or closure member having a crimped flange adapted to spring against the interior of the open end of the container7 to have the upper margin of said container bend inwardly and crimped into locking engagement with the crimped flange of the closure to hold the same locked in position against rotation.

It is also an object of this invention to provide a conical ice cream cup adapted to receive a crimped closure member or cap which is locked in position by bending a margin of the cup inwardly and crimping said margin over the crimped portion of said closure member.

It is an important object of this invention to provide a conical container for ice cream, liquids or the like, said container being provided with a cap having acrimped marginal flan e which is adapted to be enclosed by ben ing and crimping a margin of the cup over said marginal flange to hold the cap 3o locked against rotation in the end of the cup. Other and further important objects of this invention will be apparent from the ds- .f

closures in the specification and the accompanying drawings.

This invention (in a preferred form) is i1 lustrated in the drawings and hereinafter p more `fiilly described.

011 the drawings: il,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of an improved capped conical. container embodying the principles o f this invention. y

Figure 2 is a longitudinal central section of the container showing the same filled witha quantity of ice cream or the like.

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the capped container. i

Figure 4 is alo 'tudinal centi-al section of a lled container owing the pumped cap in position prior to the 4folghziig and-crimpmg .of the'margin of the container.

Figure 5 lis a plan view of the crimped cap removed from the container.

i Figure 6 is an enlarged fragmentary detail section ofthe upper portion of the closed container taken on line VI-VI of Figure 2. As shown on the drawings:

The reference numeral 1 indicates a conimeans of an extension. The arcuate edge of the blank, after the saine has been shaped,

' forms the marginal edge 2 of the conical container or cup. The co tainer 1 is adapted to be filled with a quantity of ice cream 3 or any other desired substance, after which the container is adapted to be closed by means of an improved closure or cap consisting of a paper or cardboard disc 4 having a crimped -or plaited marginal 'flange 5 which' projects upwardly and outwardly to afford an inclined or beveled edge. After a container has been lled with a quantityof ice cream or the like the, cap 4 is inserted into they open end of the'conical container, as shown in Figure 4, with the crimped flange 5 springing tightly into frictional engagement with the inner face of the upper portion of the lconical container. The cap is pushed downwardly so that the upper edge fof the flange 5 is positioned a short distance beneath Athe upper edge 2 of the container as illustrated in Figure 4.

With the crimped cap seated in position within the open end of the container 1 the upper margin or rim of the container 1 is bent inwardly and downwardly and crimped A o ger the crimped flan 5 of the cap 4.- The crimped margin 6 of t e container is adapted to interiit with the crimped flange 5 of the cap as illustrated in Figure 6, thereby acting ,to hold the crimped cap 4 locked in positionv against rotation lwithin taiiier 1.

.The improvedy capped conical container hereinbefore described affords a sanita package or cup for holding ice cream, liq

- the conical conor other substances within tls-container be--f moK neath the crimped cap, the margin of which exerts an outward resilient pressure against the wall ofthe container, and furthermore affords a crimped margin with which the crimped inwardly turned or curled margin 6 of the container is adapted to lock to hold the cap in position against rotation, thereby producing a capped container admirably ,adapted for the dispensing of ice cream, ices and. other similar substances, as well as liquids. v

I am aware that -many changes .may be made and numerous details of construction mayhe varied through a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and Itherefore do notpurpose limiting the patent granted hereon, otherwise than necessitated by the prior art. f

I claim as m invention:I

l. A dispenslng device comprising a container, a closuredisc engaged in the open .end of said container, a crimped marginal flange integrally formed onsaid closure disc adapted to resiliently spring against the inner wall of the container, said container adapted to have the margin thereof bend inwardly and crimped over the crimped flange of said closure disc to hold the same locked against rotationvwithin the container.

2. The combination with a container, of a closure disc seated in the open end thereof, and a crimpdjlange integrally formed on said disc and having resilient contact with the inner wall of the container, said container i having the margin thereof bent inwardly and lockingly crimped over the crimped flange of .r I

said disc.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed 'my name. t
